Ovince St. Preux won his second fight in as many weeks as he dominated Benji Radach in a unanimous decision victory. Judges awarded St. Preux scores of 30-27, 30-26, and 30-25.
St. Preux dominated from the start, spending the majority of the first two rounds with control of Radach’s back. St. Preux came close to finishing Radach at the end of round two, flattening Radach out and landing punches to the body and head. Radach offered little offense until round three, which consisted mostly of failed takedown attempts against the fence.
Strikeforce signed this bout less than a week ago after Herschel Walker pulled out of his fight with Scott Carson due to a cut Walker suffered during training. This was Benji Radach’s first fight since a dramatic knockout loss to Scott Smith at “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz.” Radach caught a staph infection following surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle in February of this year. Ovince St. Preux upset Antwain Britt by decision two weeks ago at Strikeforce’s Challengers show in Jackson, Mississippi.
